If you’re looking for some straight-up country, quality old school style, press play and listen. There’s a lot to love in Rylan Brooks.
We wrote this batch of tunes out on the road and during down times between hauls. It was a dream come true to record them alongside an all-star lineup of Nashville session greats and long-standing country music producer, Dean Miller, who besides us has produced and written with country greats the likes of Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton & George Jones. We are also thrilled to have Americana Highways stream our new album exclusively, being that y’all were one of the first to publish a story about us years ago when we played with Delbert McClinton at the Colonial Theatre in Pennsylvania. We hope folks enjoy this collection of stories about the good, the bad, and the downright peculiar from our times together on the road. — Nate Rylan & Chris Brooks
